[Zope] Re: Redirecting to an "under construction" page

[Yves Moisan]

This is also an interesting solution when Zope is down.  There could 
certainly be a watch script to detect a dead Zope and automatically 
switch to the simple server. In that case, redirection may be towards a 
"Server busy" or "Try to connect later" page, which could be 
accomplished by passing part of the 'message' variable as an argument to 
the script proposed by Dennis (e.g instead of hard-coding the <h1> 
and/or <h2> text in 'message').

Thanx for the idea!
